First 2012 R2 server in 2008 domain (same name and IP)

Hi all,
Think I know the answer to this but wanted to double-check. I'm installing a Windows 2012 R2 server. It is our first 2012 server in our 2008 R2 environment. It will also be our first 2012 DC. It will be replacing an old 2008 R2 DC and will have the same
name and IP as the old 2008 server. I have several other DCs in place and they handle DHCP and DNS. The DHCP server service is not currently running on the old 2008 server to be decommissioned, and the DNS settings in DHCP server/scope options point to other
servers than the server to be shut down.
Plan is to demote the old 2008 R2 server, wait 24 hours for directory replication and check that all instances of the old server is gone from AD, then rename the old server and assign different IP address. At that point I'll assign the 2012 server the old
server's original IP address and name, then run Server Manager to promote the 2012 server to a DC. Then migrate data.
So, when running DCPROMO to demote the old 2008 server, I'm asked if I want to delete the DNS delegations pointing to this server. Should I? I tend to think I should NOT because the new 2012 server will have the same name and IP as the old one, and that
the DHCP/DNS settings as configured point to other servers anyway. Does that make sense?
Thanks in advance,
Sir_Timbit

Hi Timbit,
Here is a nice walkthrough article below which is written by Ace:

  • Migrate WSUS server from 2003x86 to 2008x64, new hardware, use same name and IP address?

    Searching through the WSUS forums and reading the TechNET migration documentation, I have bits and pieces of information to make this a smooth transition...I think. I have a plan in mind but
    would like the communities input on what I am thinking before moving forward and having it blowup in my face :). <o:p></o:p>
    I have the following currently:<o:p></o:p>
    A single WSUS 3.0 SP2 server, running on Server Win2003x86, using the default WID (susdb.mdf) on the same server. I have SQL 2005 Express installed on this server as well for other services
    but this has no bearing on the WID correct?<o:p></o:p>
    What I would like to do:<o:p></o:p>
    I have a new server (a much better one) that I would like to move WSUS on to, that will be running Server Win2008x64 (I have to setup first). <o:p></o:p>
    Steps that I would like to follow:<o:p></o:p>
    1. I will go through and setup this new server with all M$ updates etc... under a new name (ex. wsusnew) and DHCP acquired IP address and then power it down. <o:p></o:p>
    2. Get on my current WSUS server and backup all current WSUS settings, groups, DB etc... to a network location for temporary storage. Then power it down.<o:p></o:p>
    3. Delete the current WSUS server computer object in AD, DNS entry I will leave because my intension is to give the same IP address to the new WSUS server.<o:p></o:p>
    4. Start the new server, static assign the IP address from the old WSUS server to this new server and then change the name of (wsusnew) to the old servers name, which should be ok sense I deleted
    the AD object in step 3.<o:p></o:p>
    5. After the obvious restart, the new server will have the same name and IP address as the old server. <o:p></o:p>
    6. Now that the new server is up (with same settings name/IP as old server), I will then go through and install the WSUS role on the server and restore my WSUS information.<o:p></o:p>
    Questions:<o:p></o:p>
    1. Step 2 above, is it possible to do this, without making replica servers? I kept reading about this as I was researching doing this, I would rather just copy the DB and folders and simply
    put them in-place on the new server.<o:p></o:p>
    2. Step 6 above, restoring of the data, what is the proper way to do this in the scenarioI described? <o:p></o:p>
    Thank you to anyone who can provide me some information.
    Jeff

    Thank you for the reply, I will follow and let you know. Proabably be next week sometime before I'm able to try though. So look for a reponse then. Thank you again.
    Jeff
    OR...
    You can use the much more simple, much more reliable, and much more proven method of:
    Install new server as a replica of the old.
    Replicate.
    Configure new server as upstream server.
    Point clients to new server.
    Turn off old server after all clients have redirected to the new server.
    For everybody that has tried the backup/restore the database procedure described above, they have encounted complications of one form or another.
    WSUS has a built-in and fully supported comprehensive replication capbility. use it! :-)

  • Changing a DC in Domain, with Same name and IP

    hey we have a domain with 3DC (srv1, DC Operation Master and GC ; srv2 DC and GC ; and srv3 only DC)
    srv3 is a file server with many shares like //srv3/folder/myfiles 
    so i really want to keep the name and IP!!
    my plan is to degrade the srv3 to normal server and add to a workgroup. 
    Delete it from ad under domain controllers. So my domain only works with my two domain controllers.
    Wait 1 or 2 Days. perhaps do a manuel replication ... so be clear tat the srv3 is really removed from the domain.
    And after all i would take my brand new Server give him same name and ip an add him to the domain. level him up to a dc and i hope all would be fine :)

    Greetings!
    Just demote the DC successfully (No Force Removal!)and check the replication between two domain controllers. If everything were in good condition you can use the same IP and Name in a new server. No need to wait for couple of days.
    Regards.

  • Connect To Server Hangs Before Prompting For Name And Password

    Hi Everyone.
    Connect to Server hangs for 25 seconds before prompting for name and password.
    I am trying to access a share on a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller via a Mac running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) using SMB.
    Example: smb://192.168.101.11/sharename
    Once connected, browsing is fine - it's just the connecting that takes a long time.
    I have specified port 139 and login name, I have disabled IP6 on the Mac, the Mac and Windows 2008 server are on the same LAN and are wired.
    Again, once connected, browsing is fine - it's just the connecting that takes a long time.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Damian

    Something to add ...
    Connecting to a Windows 2008 stand-alone server outside of the domain (e.g., workgroup) does not have the same problem - the name and password prompt shows immediately.

  • Query parameters with the same name and different values

    According to HTTP, multiple query or post parameters with the
    same name and different values are permitted. They are transfered
    over the wire in the following format -
    name1=val1&name1=val2&name1=val3
    The problem is that I can't see anyway of assigning multiple
    parameters with the same name and different values to the request
    object of mx.rpc.http.HTTPService. I have tried using the
    flash.utils.Dictionary object as it does strict key comparison but
    that doesn't work too. I have tried setting an array of values to a
    property of the request object but that sends the request to the
    server in the following format -
    name1=val1,val2,val3
    The java servlet engines throw exceptions when they see this.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you're not on 8.1.4 move there. 8.1.3 had limitations in the wsrp
    release.

  • We have three Apple devices. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address will they create two separate Notes flies on the cloud or merge?

    We have three Apple devices 2 IPhone 4's and one Ipad2. Only the Ipad2 is running the latest OS. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address (we don't have one yet) will they create two separate Notes flies on the Cloud or merge them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Separate Apple ID's will result in separate notes. However when you first start with separate ID's unless one of you erases the notes you have, you will both start off with the same set of notes, but from then onwards each set won't sync with each other.

    2. Unzip it and copy the .admx files to c:\Windows\Sysvol\<domain>\policies and create a directory called policydefinitions

    Correct way or not? Will this have any implication on network or any old GPO.

  • Backup DC past tombstone and need help replacing it with another DC with the same name and IP

    Hey Everyone
    We have a single domain in a forest with 2 DCs with AD integrated DNS configured. The primary DC with all the FSMO roles is a VM (Server 2008 R2) and the backup DC is a physical server (Server 2008 non-R2).
    The backup DC's hardware is very old and has been giving us a lot of issues where the system would intermittently BSOD, freeze, black screen only etc. and as a result, the server was turned off for a very long time, definitely beyond the default tombstone
    lifetime of either 60 or 180 days.
    We want to replace this bad backup DC with another physical server which became available as a spare and is much newer and in a working condition hardware wise. We also wish to ultimately give it the same name (FQDN) and IP to basically make it an outright
    replacement for the current bad backup DC.
    My questions are:
    1.) If we are in a position where the bad server could possibly physically boot and start the operating system and have network connectivity, will we be able to use DCPROMO as one would normally do to demote this DC, or will it have to be done forcefully,
    while keeping in mind as I said that the DC is way past the tombstone lifetime period?
    2.) If it has to be done forcefully, I am aware that the meta data needs to be cleaned up in AD on the working primary DC, although I have never performed such a process before. If this is done, are there any other things I need to look out for or do
    before I attempt to replace it with the other server which I will set up wit the same name (FQDN) and IP, then add to the domain, and then lastly promote as per normal using DCPROMO?
    I know we will have to upgrade the scema to 2012RM as the replacement backup DC will be running this newer operating system.
    Anything else you wish to add or point out to me would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

  • Two mail accounts with same name and SSL not allowed?!

    Dear Common Wisdom:
    I have two accounts in my Mail program with the same web host. That means the outgoing mail server has the same name.
    If I put on SSL, though, it is not allowed to save two servers with the same name in two different accounts.
    Can I get around this and still use SSL for both accounts?
    Thanks!

    Each domain is expected to refer to its own unique database schema. Same SOA schema should not be shared by multiple SOA clusters/domains. It is technically possible though, I suppose, and still can run fine any one SOA environment at any given time with the other SOA environments/domains (sharing the same SOA schema) shutdown. It is not the general/recommended practice to share SOA schema across domains and there could be potential implications and unexpected behavior, particularly when the SOA environments pointing to the same schema are all running at a time.

  • Two instances same name and diferent homes

    Hi everyone,=
    I already read this interesting post:
    Creating two instances of same name in a single ORACLE_HOME ?
    After reading it I have the following question:
    Can this apply using the same ASM Instance but with diferent disk groups for each database?
    I'm thinking in this following configuration:
    ORACLE_HOME1 => 11.2.0.1
    GRID_HOME1 => 11.2.0.1
    DISK GROUP 1, DISK GROUP 2 for DB1 in ASM
    ORACLE_HOME2 => 11.2.0.3
    DISK GROUP 3, DISK GROUP 4 for DB1 in ASM
    Both databases using the same ASM instance but diferent disk groups.
    Could this be posible?
    Thanks in advance!
    johnxjean

    Thanks Balazs Papp for your quick response.
    In the scenario there is only one ASM instance and there are two databases DB1 and DB1 (same name) maybe I'am trying to upgrade or simply restoring with RMAN an old backup for DB1 from ORACLE_HOME1 in ORACLE_HOME2 with the same oracle version or later.
    Now, in the original post unix can create processes for instances with the same name but with distinct ORACLE_HOMEs.
    So, can ASM serve two databases with the same name, using the same ORACLE_SID but diferent ORACLE_HOMES? or Is this only posible using only filesystems?
    Thanks in advance.
